Asteroids, small airless bodies within the inner solar system, are theorized to have contributed water and chemical building blocks of life to Earth billions of years ago. Although meteorites on Earth ...

Bennu contains minerals and thousands of organic molecules, including the chemical components that make up DNA.

Scientists detected all five nucleobases -- building blocks of DNA and RNA -- in samples returned from asteroid Bennu by NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission.

The Bennu samples contain 14 of the 20 amino acids that are essential for life on Earth to build proteins. Also found were ...
